In a world of downloadable singles, our hope with this podcast is to look a little deeper at what influences musicians and see the impact an album (as opposed to a single) can have on an artist’s work. The Sound Affect is about discovering (or re-discovering) a record that has influenced a musician. You tell us the record. We will do the legwork to investigate the record and tell the listener some of the basic information. Then we invite an artist in to chat with us about that record. This is the artist's opportunity to "geek out" and have some fun.

John Borra picks The Waterboys "This is the Sea"

On the dawn of his latest album, Last Dance at the E Room, Toronto troubadour John Borra joins the Sound Affect to talk about Toronto, post punk, and The Waterboy's seminal classic "This is the Sea".

Released in September 1985, This Is the Sea is the third studio album by the Waterboys. It’s widely considered their breakthrough record and the pinnacle of their long and distinguished career. Blending rock, folk, and Celtic influences with a spiritual and emotional intensity, This Is the Sea was quintessential to what leader Mike Scott called their “Big Music” era…a sweeping, anthemic sound characterized by grand arrangements, spiritual themes, and a sense of transcendence.
